Inspiring me both in the past AND in the present ;-) BTW, I didn't mean to imply that you don't have any challenges. I just mean that you back in 2001 had a bit of a simpler life than I do now -- and simpler than YOU have now, too, I'm sure. Your suggestion for changing the goals to fit the times sounds like a great one, too. I'm actually excited. Thanks, Shauna.

Sure I don't have kids but there have been some nasty big events or circumstances that ensured my efforts were less than ideal! But i think the key when life is insanely busy is redefining what "ideal" is - and that has often been like ONE walk a week or ONE healthy meal a day... like that is all i can manage and that will have to do. If i can do that one little thing consistently then i start getting somewhere. rather than trying to do too much and making myself crazy then wind up eating a tub of icecream in tears. i'm probably not making any sense but i just wanted to pipe up with my empathy and hope you are feeling okay! option #2 sounds like a goodun, and don't forget you have us kids here in internetland for accountability :) (thank you so much for adding the widget, you rule!)
